Who can become a member?

Membership in the IACP is open, but not limited to professionals and students in disciplines such as psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, dentistry, rehabilitation, guidance, pastoral counseling, general medical practice, counseling and education.

What benefits will I receive as a member?

Although benefits vary according to the membership category, membership benefits for individual members are as follows:

IACP’s international conferences offer members the opportunity to meet and network with CBT therapists around the world and learn about the latest developments in CBT from our most eminent world leaders in CBT. IACP Members receive a special registration discount for our conferences.

Newsletter

Members receive an online quarterly newsletter giving them cutting edge news about CBT.

Members have the option to have their practices listed on our online international therapist referral directory for an additional annual fee. The online international therapist referral directory is accessed by consumers throughout the world.

Opportunities for Training

Our Speakers’ Bureau currently provides several online training services for those who are unable to travel, do not have the time or the resources to travel to conferences, lack training resources within their own country, or simply enjoy training online. At present, members can view keynote presentations from our 2011 triennial conference, audiotape talks from leading clinicians in cognitive therapy from around the world, and can arrange live online talks and consultations through IACP’s training committee. To learn more about these opportunities, please visit our speakers’ bureau.

Additional Benefits

International Association of Cognitive Therapy members are also entitled to a 20% discount off books, professional resources, and more. This includes new, recent, and bestselling titles on cognitive therapy (www.guilford.com/iacp.html). Be sure to use Promotional Code IACP to receive your special discount. Members also receive significant discounts on IACP’s conferences (more than covering the cost membership annually if attending at least one conference), car rentals through Avis and Hertz, and book and journal discounts from select publishers, such as Elsevier, Springer, American Psychiatric Publishing, and Routledge.

What are the different types of Membership offered?
